We are seeking a Director of Children's and Family Programming to nurture the faith development of children and families through educational, missional, and fellowship-oriented programming. We are seeking someone who will help us to build a new program-based ministry that is responsive to the needs, availability, and interests of our stakeholders. The word “program” is intentionally broad so that the Director, in consultation stakeholders, may create and implement a wide range of programming, but whenever possible should not compete with Sunday morning worship.
The ideal candidate will have a background in education, strong organizational and interpersonal skills, be able to work independently without extensive supervision, be familiar with or willing to learn about the values of Brookside Community Church UCC, communicate effectively through a variety of media, and have a genuine interest in nurturing children’s spiritual growth. Knowledge of community organizing is a plus. Music skills are a plus.
The position is part time, averaging 20 hours per week. Click here for more information
